Can you leave a flyer in someones mailbox?

NoAs a letter carrier, I can tell you that you are absolutely not allowed to place anything in someone else's mailbox unless you are an official letter carrier. Advertisements, etc. that are placed in mailboxes without postage and not by a letter carrier, are removed from the mailboxes by the letter carrier and turned in to postal management. The violator may be billed for postage for the entire route where the advertisements were found.Read more: [[Q/Can you place advertisements on the post supporting a mailbox#ixzz15yLEYbU3|http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Can_you_place_advertisements_on_the_post_supporting_a_mailbox#ixzz15yLEYbU3]]
